Pentasa and Levoxyl drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Pentasa (mesalamine) and Levoxyl (levothyroxine sodium). Common drug interactions include mitral valve incompetence among females and hypersensitivity among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Pentasa and Levoxyl. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 26 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
